Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials have attracted widespread interest in recent years because of their advantages of abundant porosity, large specific surface area, and large pore volume. In recent years, porous materials have been used in diverse applications, such as in energy, in the environment, in the chemical industry, as well as other fields. Porous materials with different structures (macro and micro levels) display different properties. However, the interaction mechanism and structure-property relationships of porous materials still represent considerable challenges. Thus, an improved understanding of structure-property relationships and interaction mechanisms is necessary. This Special Issue covers these topics and focuses on the preparation–structure–performance relationships of porous materials. I invite colleagues associated with research in porous materials, magnetic porous materials, energy conversion and storage porous materials, porous adsorbents for gas storage, and materials for wastewater treatment to share their results and ideas.

I look forward to your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In vitro studies on adherent cells require a process of passage to dissociate the cells from the culture substrate using enzymes or other chemical agents to maintain cellular activity. However, these proteolytic enzymes have a negative influence on the viability and phenotype of cells. The mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-like cell line, C3H10T1/2, adhered, migrated, and proliferated to the same extent on newly designed microporous titanium (Ti) membrane and conventional culture dish, and spontaneous transfer to another substrate without enzymatic or chemical dissociation was achieved. The present study pierced a 10 μm-thick pure Ti sheet with 25 μm square holes at 75 μm intervals to create a dense porous structure with biomimetic topography. The pathway of machined holes allowed the cells to access both sides of the membrane frequently. In a culture with Ti membranes stacked above- and below-seeded cells, cell migration between the neighboring membranes was confirmed using the through-holes of the membrane and contact between the membranes as migration routes. Furthermore, the cells on each membrane migrated onto the conventional culture vessel. Therefore, a cell culture system with enzyme-free passaging was developed. Full article
